WHAT? A student project to build an "Automated Weather Station"
WHY? Two reasons: (1) LEARN about electricity, electronics, and microcomputers
(2) GET Weather Data for students, and classes
HOW? A few students will work with Terry King to design and build the station
NOTE: This project was concluded at the end of the 2007 school year..
NEWS: We are ready to see real Weather Data!
1. The Pre-IB Geography class has figured out and connected the first three sensors:
Wind Speed
Wind Direction
Outdoor Temperature
2. They have written Microcomputer software to read the sensors and create Weather Observation data
3. They have written Microcomputer software to format data and send it to a desktop computer
- We hope other students will be working on other sensors and getting data onto the WWW

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW:
Section 4 - Interfacing to our sensors
INFORMATION AND RESOURCES:
Information on our wind direction and wind speed sensors, and our thermometer chip. Also some info on our Microcomputer and Software.
